I had the privilege of working with Dave for just over year. The room was always brighter when he was around. He will be missed.

Empathy and sympathy to family and friends.. I knew David as an nodding acquaintance in middle and high school. And I cried over the news of his early death, most especially after the very well-written post on facebook Lynn shared about how access to healthcare probably could have prolonged his life.
I am very sorry, Lynn Wells.
